Another night out

**Angus MacSpey** · 27th November 05, 01:09 AM

Well, this evening I boldly sallied forth in my olive drab UK Original to a birthday party for my biggest client at a bar in Golden. Interesting, to be sure.

All, and I do mean all, of the females in our party went absolutely ga-ga over the kilt - and a couple of them were positively shameless when it came to "The Question!" I did get even with them, however. LOL!

One pusillanimous twit in the men's room thought something was extremely hilarious, though I declined to inquire of him as to what was tickling his funny bone. I simply chuckled at the poor fellow's difficulty in operating a zipper whilst soused.

One serving-wench said, "Nice dress!" I might have been offended had she more of a figure than a 2x4. Hey, life sucks when you're ugly. Tough beans. Be gracious about it. No need for the attitude.

I was informed by my client that I was turning heads everywhere (large crowd, live band playing) but I don't really notice such things much. One woman, when she found out what I do, wanted me to paint a house for her - a tall house, mind you, that would involve ladder work. And only if I wore the kilt.

I think I'm on to something here.... Remember that UK commercial?

Cheers, dudes!

I often find that people in bars are the ones most likely to comment on kilts, whether in a positive or negative fashion. They just seem less inhibited and more eager to start conversation. On our latest kilt night, one husband had to forcibly remove her wife from us while she protested "but... but... kilts..." As she was taken away, one of us yelled out "Put her on a leash next time." Her last comment as she was escorted out the door was "I like leashes..."

Ah,the power of the kilt.

I'm always amazed at how well a kilt starts up conversations.

Of course, going into a bar on a leash would probably cause just as many conversations!

Unless of course, you were in one of those kinds of bars.

One question one must ask is when someone is soused in the men's room, why does he feel he has the upper edge, just because he has a zipper that he cannot open?

Great tale!
